Money cannot buy happiness; it can, however, rent it.

Only bad things happen quickly, . . . Virtually all the happiness-produ cing processes in our lives take time, usually a long time: learning new things, changing old behaviors, building satisfying relationships, raising children. This is why patience and determination are among life's primary virtues.

It is difficult to remove by logic an idea not placed there by logic in the first place. By nature, we are emotional creatures. Often we live and react based on feelings, not logic. Feelings are wonderful, but when we become tied to a particular thought or belief we tend to ignore the fact that change might be necessary.

Life's two most important questions are Why? and Why not? The trick is knowing which one to ask.

We are not what we think, or what we say, or how we feel. We are what we do.

Money cannot buy happiness; it can, however, rent it.
